Hiya Sharon!
Welcome to planDisney! I'm so excited that you have booked a stay at a
Disneyland Resort Hotel. You are going to have so much fun!
Guests who want to visit the theme parks at the Disneyland Resort need to purchase a
theme park ticket and
make a theme park reservation for each day that they want to enjoy the parks. There isn't a specific ticket for hotel guests, so you can just use the Disneyland website to
purchase your tickets. The nice thing about using the Disneyland website to buy park tickets is that you can make your theme park reservations at the same time that you purchase your tickets. It's pretty easy!
I checked the
Theme Park Reservation Availability Calendar this morning and it looks like park reservations are open for your arrival date. You're planning in advance (good job!) but I'd still recommend buying your tickets soon so that you don't risk theme park reservations running out for the days and parks you want. You can always modify your theme park reservations if your dates change later.
Halloween Time at the Disneyland Resort will be in full swing during your visit! I love the decorations during spooky season, especially the pumpkins on Main Street, U.S.A. at Disneyland Park and the eerie purple lights around Disney California Adventure Park. Will you be planning to purchase tickets to
Oogie Boogie Bash - A Disney Halloween Party? If so, you'll want to watch the
Disney Parks Blog closely for announcements about buying tickets. The sell out terrifyingly fast!
Planning a trip is half the fun, Sharon! I hope you'll come back and visit us again if you have more questions.
Keep moving forward!
Amanda
